The Apple: BFFs Go 1-2...

Sunday, 30 May 2010 11:53

Cathy and Julie are best friends. They do almost everything together and between them they have 64 blindingly white teeth that are rarely covered. Singularly and collectively, they radiate happiness and good will.

They are also top level multisport athletes. Heck, Cathy was the 2009 US Athlete of the Year. And Julie's not far behind. On Saturday at the 28th edition of the Apple Du, she was ahead. Until the final mile of the final run, that is. In the end, the AOY demonstrated why she had won that award. And 11 skinny seconds after Cathy finished, Julie was there to give her a big, toothy hug! Walking away from the line, the lettering on their bums reminded us that their last names were Yndestad and Hull.

Cathy's victory at Apple was the 41st of her career. Number 42 should come relatively easily next week when she travels to Buffalo.
